Hello everyone, sorry I haven’t been blogging regularly… I’ve been so
busy with getting back into the swing of things this year. A lot has changed
for me this year in terms of my teaching degree that I am currently doing and
my work placement. I will also tell you about what shows I’ve gone to see this
month J
So first of all I will start with my placement and what’s going on at
Bird College. I have now been given three classes that I teach regularly; these
are the Pre-Professional Foundation Year groups. As that is a lot of word’s
that you may not be aware of if you’re not in Education, I’ll just explain a
bit about them. These classes are people who have come to Bird College for one
year in order to be trained to audition for Drama Schools and Universities,
therefore, no work is marked and there is no criteria or curriculum. This
means… FUN! Yes, basically all I have to do with them is play games and build
their confidence, so all in all my job does not suck.
One thing I do love about working at Bird College is that the students
are so committed in being there and they are so much fun to work with because
they listen and they really take on board what I have to say as their teacher.
In some ways this scares me for jobs I get after as I won’t have had any
experience in bad behaviour from students, but I think I’ll be okay. As my
placement goes on I am being given more and more responsibility which is
amazing as I am beginning to really learn what it is to be a teacher.
Now all of that is out of way I can tell you about the show’s I went to
see in the half-term break. I went to see Miss Saigon, Memphis and Made in
Dagenham (again!)
As you can see from my lovely Instagram pictures above! Miss Saigon was
so beautiful in the way it was done, it was such a nice story and the music was
phenomenal, it deserved to win the 12 What’s On Stage Awards that it did.
Memphis the musical was also really good and once again a beautiful story told
through beautiful music. Also I saw Memphis with Beverley Knight who was
absolutely amazing in the role! Fun fact for you inter-racial marriage has only
been legal in all U.S. states since 1967 which I found quite shocking as it was
only 48 years ago. Then I went to see Made in Dagenham again which was amazing
as it was the first time I went to see back in the previews.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed my blog. See you soon J
